Jeffree Star Opened Up About James Charles Feud in New Podcast
It was the moment that shook the internet: The iconic feud between James Charles, Tati Westbrook and, out of nowhere, Jeffree Star that marked a major shift in the YouTube beauty community. And now, in a new podcast interview, Jeffree spilled so much tea on what happened behind the scenes, his upcoming autobiography, and so much more.
Today, Jeffree appeared on Spotify's Mom's Basement podcast with FaZe Banks, Keemstar and Clown. He address multiple controversies and hot button topics throughout, the most pressing being his feud with James that was seen by millions. "People want to create a feud between against me and James. There’s no competition," Jeffree said. "I’ve been doing this for a very long time. His fans really try to create an animosity. I’ve been doing this for so long. I’m really in my own lane. Yeah we’re boys in beauty but I’m a f*cking icon."
And the tea didn't stop there. He went on to say that Tati shouldn't have uploaded her now infamous video titled "Bye Sister," and that he is no longer friends with the YouTuber. Jeffree added, "If James Charles is listening, call me, or sit down with me, and I will show you what was shown to me."
Jeffree then went on to talk about his forthcoming autobiography which he is currently writing.
"I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to accomplish thus far. I now have ten more goals I want to accomplish. I now want to be a New York Times best-selling author. I’m currently writing an autobiography! It’s really dark and inspiring and great and there are things that I’ve never talked about ever going in there. It’s really exciting, really f*cked up, but really honest and I think people are going to be really shocked by it."
One thing is for sure: that book is destined to be a best-seller, and we can't wait to read about Jeffree star's journey from MySpace personality and music artist to makeup mogul and YouTube legend. "I used to live in a tiny 2-bedroom little apartment, 900 square feet. So to go from that to this is so insane," he explained. "...I started a makeup company with my last dollars and flipped it into a billion-dollar empire. It’s been a crazy six years."
Listen to the full podcast — now available on Spotify — to hear more fascinating behind-the-scenes tea about Jeffree and his empire. And until the day that memoir hits the shelves, we'll be waiting, Blood Sugar on our eyes, for yet another iconic "Hi, how are ya?" intro.
